About this listen
It contains skills and exercises that will assist you in learning to Live the Tao. Living the Tao or experiencing Reality at a fundamental level requires a process of change. Understanding it at an intellectual level, although stimulating, will not be sufficient. This is the companion book to Practical Applications of Taoism. Both books are essential in helping you understand and begin the process of change required to live the Tao. The first, Practical Applications of Taoism, explains the concepts and the process that is required to make the shift. A process of change is still required in order to Live the Tao.
This book, The Handbook of Living, contains skills, exercises and observation to will assist you in the transformation. Ideally a interactive process with a qualified master is required. In this information heavy world where for many, time is at a premium a self guided approach is perhaps all most are ready for. The transformation is not intuitive and straight forward. Interacting with a master and a community that can get your there may not be freezable for most. The combination of this book and first book however may suffice to give you a taste of what it means to live the Tao and experience the Reality beneath all things.
Even though this book contains a wealth of exercise and skill you can use to experience the Tao, it does not give a detailed account of what the Tao is, and what is required to live it. Both books together will give you a chance of working towards it. The most effective way of learning to Live the Tao is to be guided through a process of change by a Taoist community led by a qualified master. In this modern word, this is rare. Taoism is poorly understood by most and it not taught well. The author offers regular classes and workshops that will help you along the path.
“Taoism is very poorly understood by most people. Most of what is written about it is confusing and misleading.”
Suli Daniel Johnson, SBN
Gaining a cognitive understanding of living the Tao is not that difficult. Many of the concepts may seem surprisingly simple. Connecting and understanding it on a level where you can live it is not so straightforward. To understand this consider the following. You learn how to play the game of golf in five minutes. Learning how to actually play it and gaining insight as to what is involved to become proficient requires much more time and effort. In the end, the only way to really understand how to play golf is to play it. Learning to apply the Tao as a practical force in your life requires not only an understanding but a process of change.
